Campfire + Gusto

Gusto payroll syncs to Campfire automatically — every run journalized without lifting a finger.

Overview

Gusto is the payroll, benefits, and HR platform trusted by over 300,000 small businesses across the US. Built specifically for growing companies, Gusto handles the complexity of payroll taxes, benefits administration, and compliance — so founders and finance teams can focus on the business instead of payroll paperwork.

Why connect Campfire + Gusto

Payroll entries without the manual work

Every Gusto payroll run syncs to Campfire via Finch and creates a fully coded journal entry automatically. Wages, taxes, benefits, and deductions are mapped to your chart of accounts without any manual data entry.

Close payroll the same day you run it

Campfire creates and books the payroll journal entry the moment Gusto processes the run. Your books reflect payroll immediately — no waiting, no reformatting exports, no manual entry.

Always-accurate payroll accruals

Between payroll runs, Campfire accrues payroll expenses automatically based on your Gusto schedule. Your P&L reflects true accrual-basis payroll expense every day, not just on payroll dates.

How It Works

  1. Gusto payroll data — wages, taxes, benefits, and deductions — is captured via Finch and sent to Campfire automatically on each payroll run.
  2. Campfire maps the payroll data to your chart of accounts, creates the journal entry, and applies department coding based on your employee setup.
  3. Your finance team reviews the auto-generated payroll entry in Campfire and approves it — the whole process takes under five minutes.
